Survival Mode Improvements and the New Fighting Chance Mode Debut in Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition on June 25!

Jun 20, 2018 // Andy Wong

Cody has heard the calls of the citizens and has decided to start his job as mayor one day early on June 25! Also coming with Metro City’s New Mayor are improvements to Survival Mode and introducing the Fighting Chance mode, including new obtainable skins! Learn more about these features below and how they work.

CURRENT SURVIVAL MODE

As you likely know, Survival Mode is a single-player mode where you’re challenged to fight a consecutive number of CPU opponents until you either beat them all or are defeated – if you fail, you must start from the very beginning. There are four separate difficulty settings with different rewards:

  • Easy
    • 10 consecutive opponents
    • Unlocks Color 3 for Default, Story, and Extra Battle Costumes
    • EXP awarded for the first time completed with each character
  • Normal
    • 30 consecutive opponents
    • Unlocks Colors 4, 5, and 6 for Default, Story, and Extra Battle Costumes
    • EXP awarded for the first time completed with each character
  • Hard
    • 50 consecutive opponents
    • Unlocks Colors 7, 8, 9, and 10 for Default, Story, and Extra Battle Costumes
    • EXP awarded for the first time completed with each character
  • Extreme
    • 100 consecutive opponents
    • Unlocks a title
    • EXP awarded for the first time completed with each character

As you progress in each attempt, you’ll rack up score depending on how quickly you defeat the opponent. In between rounds, you have the option of spending some of your score to purchase a Battle Supplement, which will help you against the next opponent in various ways.

But this much you may already know, so what are these improvements we speak of?There are quite a few, so let’s start with the addition of Battle Goods!

BATTLE GOODS

Similar to Battle Supplements, Battle Goods can be used to give you advantages or improve your chances of winning the next round. Unlike Battle Supplements, Battle Goods are consumables, meaning they will disappear once you use them. You can also use up to five of them between rounds whereas you can only use one Battle Supplement.

Once this update goes live, you’ll automatically receive some Battle Goods in your inventory to get you started. You can obtain more Battle Goods by completing Survival Mode – the higher the difficulty, the more rewards – or by participating in the new Fighting Chance mode, which will be discussed below.

CARE TO CONTINUE OR SAVE YOUR PROGRESS?

Currently, once you are defeated in Survival Mode, you must start from the very beginning. With this update, you can now spend Fight Money to continue after a loss. If you are defeated, you can spend 800 Fight Money to continue without losing progress. When continuing, you will start with a full health bar, EX Gauge, and V-Gauge to make the match fair.

100 consecutive matches can take a while! That’s why we’re adding the ability to save your progress so you can resume at a later date. After clearing a stage, you’ll have the option to open the Save Menu at the Battle Supplements screen. Upon doing so, you’ll be prompted with the ability to Save and Quit. Once you decide you’re ready to continue, you can head to Survival Mode again where a prompt will ask if you’d like to resume play.

OTHER IMPROVEMENTS

When playing Survival Mode, you can now select Standard or Random, which will affect the CPU opponents. In Standard, only the initial 16 characters will appear in a predetermined order. In Random, all currently-released characters, including those from Season 1-3, will appear in random order – except for the “boss” character that appears every 10 stages.

Finally, any unused V-Gauge will also be carried over into the next stage giving you more options as you take on the increased CPU difficulty..

INTRODUCING FIGHTING CHANCE

Battle Goods are potent items that can greatly increase your chance of completing Survival Mode, especially with the increased difficulty. This brings us to Fighting Chance, a new system where Menat will open up shop to tell your fortune! By spending 500 Fight Money, you can obtain a Fantasy Fortune Reading, which Menat can help you decipher. These readings contain multiple items, including some exclusive to Fighting Chance.

  • Battle Goods for Survival Mode
  • New colors only obtainable in Fantasy Fortune Readings
  • Rare costumes only available via Fantasy Fortune Readings
    • Cammy’s Cannon Spike costume below is one of these rare costumes
    • We’ll introduce more rare costumes as time goes on!
  • Classic pieces of Street Fighter art from across the series

Upon logging in once the update is live, you’ll receive one free Fantasy Fortune Reading that will walk you through this process!

We hope you check out the new and improved Survival Mode and Fighting Chance along with meeting Mayor Cody Travers! Word on the street is that there are more fashionable additions coming with this update, so follow us on Twitter and like us on Facebook to stay up to date on all the latest news!

Monster Hunter: World patch update 4.01 (PS4) / 4.0.0.1 (Xbox One) – Investigations and matchmaking

Jun 15, 2018 // Yuri Araujo

Monster Hunter: World patch update 4.01 (PS4) / 4.0.0.1 (Xbox One) is now live; patch notes available below.

This update has actually been live since June 14, but due to craziness that was E3 2018, we didn’t get to publish the patch notes until today (June 15). Apologies for the late notice.

In addition, we also wanted to highlight a couple of changes that took effect with version 4.00 (PS4) / 4.0.0.0 (Xbox One) but that we didn’t get a chance to talk about:

Tempered Elder Dragon Investigations (4.00 / 4.0.0.0)

  • With the addition of Lunastra and Teostra in update Ver. 4.00/4.0.0.0, they have now also been added to the pool of Threat Level 3 investigations.
  • The draw chance for certain tempered elder dragon investigations have been revised.
  • All Threat Level 3 investigations now have an equal chance of having increased special reward slots. Originally, varying values were used to determine the number of special reward slots for each tempered elder dragon investigation, but these have all been matched to the value for Vaal Hazak, which was the highest.
  • Note:
    • You may see increased special reward slots for Threat Level 3 investigations that you possessed before this fix was applied in Ver. 4.00/4.0.0.0.
    • The chance for increased special reward slots for tempered Vaal Hazak has not changed.

General Matchmaking

  • The search conditions have been relaxed for the Online Session “Matchmake” search option. (If you are HR 100 or higher, “Matchmake” may put you in Online Sessions made by players between HR 100 and HR 999.)

Investigations

  • The naming method for investigations in other languages has been updated. Investigation names now include the main target in addition to the quest type (hunt, capture, or slay). Affected languages include: Arabic, Brazilian Portuguese, English, French, German, Italian, Polish, Russian, and Spanish. See comparison below:

 
BEFORE Ver. 4.01 / 4.0.0.1


AFTER Ver. 4.01 / 4.0.0.1

Other

  • Mistakes were corrected in the Asian version text for Traditional Chinese and Russian customer support information.

Announcing the Monster Hunter: World E3 Time Attack Tournament

Jun 02, 2018 // Yuri Araujo

Just about 1 year ago, we made an announcement that will forever be marked in Monster Hunter history: Monster Hunter: World, one of our most ambitious titles which quickly became Capcom’s best-selling game ever. This year, at E3 2018, we’re looking to celebrate the occasion with a fun team time attack tournament and prizes! Keep reading for all the details.

———

DATES & TIMES

We’ll be hosting two separate instances of the Monster Hunter: World E3 Time Attack Tournament:

  • Tuesday, June 12 th from 2:30pm to 5pm (Pacific Time)
  • Wednesday, June 13 th from 2:30pm to 5pm (Pacific Time)
———

REGISTRATION

Registration will take place on-site at the Capcom booth #2223 on both June 12 and 13 between 12pm and 2pm (Pacific Time). The tournament will be open to all E3 2018 attendees. This is a doubles tournament, meaning you must sign up with a partner. If you don’t have a teammate, come by the Capcom booth during the sign up period to meet up with other likeminded hunters.

Entries will be limited to 6 teams (12 hunters) per day.

———

QUESTS & RULESET

To keep things fun with a little extra competitive flare, we’ll be borrowing characters from a game series that knows the competitive ring all too well: Ryu and Sakura from Street Fighter V .

These special Challenge Quests are live right now on Monster Hunter: World so call a buddy and get to practicing the following quests:

  • The Awakened Satsui no Hado I
  • Empress in Full Bloom I

NOTE: we’ll be using specifically the I versions of those quests, not the II, or III.

Each day will feature one of the quests listed above; all teams participating that day will be taking on the same quest. There will be time allocated to controller configuration before the start of each quest. Each team will only have one chance at completing the quest.

After all teams have completed their quests, the team with the fastest completion time will emerge as the winner.

———

PRIZING

All tournament participants (12 each day) will receive a Nergigante statue; the same model as the one that came in the Monster Hunter: World Collector’s Edition!

We’ll also be raffling off some prizes during the event, so make sure to stick around and cheer for your favorite team.

The winners (2 per day) will walk home with a custom trophy made specifically for this occasion, and will be forever known as the Monster Hunter: World E3 2018 Time Attack Champions.

———

And for the folks at home, you can catch all of this action via our live streaming channels on Twitch and Facebook.

I can’t wait to see what weapon combinations and strategies you’ll come up with for this! Best of luck to all those practicing and happy hunting!

Become a Valiant Knight with the Arthur Crossover Costume for Ryu in Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition!

May 31, 2018 // Andy Wong

Good always conquers evil, right? While the last piece of the Astaroth Crossover Costume for M. Bison is underway, the Arthur Crossover Costume for Ryu will come dashing in to show the villain what it means to be a hero! The Arthur Crossover Costume challenges in Extra Battle Mode will begin on June 7.


HOW DOES EXTRA BATTLE MODE WORK?

Every month, there will be at least one unique costume like a Crossover Costume up for grabs, which can only be obtained by playing Extra Battle Mode with Fight Money. Here’s the flow of how to go about getting these costumes:

  • Each costume requires you to complete four challenges that take place over the span of a month – one challenge per week.
  • Each time you attempt one of these challenges, you will need to spend 2,500 Fight Money. So if you successfully complete each of the weekly challenges in one go, you can get that Extra Battle Costume for 10,000 FM!
  • Once you complete all four challenges, the costume for that month is yours!
  • These challenges are time exclusive, so make sure to log in each week to complete them, especially if you have your eyes on that month’s unique costume.

 

Appearing in Ghosts ‘n Goblins (1985) and its sequels, Arthur is the main protagonist who is on a mission to rescue the princess Guinevere from countless villains like Astaroth. Utilizing an arsenal of knightly weapons including a lance, dagger, axe, sword, crossbow, and more, Arthur is able to fend off armies of undead in the name of the princess. One of the most notable things about Arthur is the fact he loses his armor when hit, reducing his clothing to only boxer shorts. As both Ryu is the protagonist of Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition and has a penchant for being good, he’s the perfect character to don Arthur’s armor. In case you’re worried, you can definitely get the armor-less version of this costume using the alternate code.

Monster Hunter: World Title Update 3, version 4.00 (PS4) / 4.0.0.0 (Xbox One) available now

May 31, 2018 // Yuri Araujo

Monster Hunter: World Title Update 3, featuring the Empress of Flame, Lunastra , is now live! This latest update (version 4.00 on PS4; 4.0.0.0 on Xbox One) comes with a number of additions, changes and bug fixes. Read the full patch notes below.

Major Additions and Changes

  • You will now also discover investigations for tempered monsters when hunting a tempered monster or breaking its parts.
  • You can now change armor pigments and layered armor at all item boxes found within Astera (except the Training Area) or the Research Base.
  • It’s now easier to successfully pet the Poogie.
  • The camera will not be forcibly moved by Scoutfly guidance when arriving at camp at the start of a quest.
  • The trophy conditions for “Monster Ph.D.” were updated to no longer include monsters added in free title updates.
  • With this design change, you can now unlock the trophy/achievement by speaking to Ecological Research if you’ve already maxed out the research levels for the original lineup of monsters.
  • When performing the Shoryuken or Hadoken gestures, male characters (or armor that makes you look like a male character) will now use Ryu’s voice from Street Fighter V, while female characters (or armor that makes you look like a female character) will now use Sakura’s voice from Street Fighter V.

Bug Fixes

  • Regarding the problem of the new guild card lighting system introduced in Ver. 2.00 affecting the appearance of a player’s character, the light settings have been adjusted to make it look similar to the lighting before Ver. 1.06.
  • Fixed a bug where only medals, not trophies, would be unlocked when ending the game while it is processing unlocked trophies and medals at the result screen. With this fix, if you have unlocked a medal but not a trophy, it will be unlocked the next time you get to a result screen.
  • Fixed a bug where Kulve Taroth’s broken horn cutscene was interrupted and the siege could not be completed when Kulve Taroth’s horns took separate damage right at the time they were completely broken off.
  • Fixed a bug where Kulve Taroth would go into an attack phase in area 1 and would not move to the next area, resulting in the siege becoming impossible to complete.
  • Fixed a bug where the siege of Kulve Taroth would end when a member of the siege goes to another quest, expedition or to the training area. This has been fixed so the siege can be continued.
  • Fixed a bug that occurs during the “Banquet in the Earthen Hall” quest when you open your Hunter’s Notes while in the tent just as Kulve Taroth’s horns are completely broken, causing the battle music to continue playing while the quest complete music plays on top of it.
  • Fixed terrain-related bugs in some locales.
  • Fixed a bug where a player would get an infinite buff under certain criteria upon a successful Foresight Slash.
  • Fixed a phenomenon where specific controls would allow you to link the Charge Blade’s Super Amped Element Discharge into an Amped Element Discharge. This was unintended and after considering how it affects the game’s balance, it has been removed.
  • Fixed a bug that allowed the player to face in a direction other than the reticle just before Wyvernheart is fired.
  • Fixed a bug that caused Gastodon to spot players in their territory even when wearing a Ghillie Mantle or hiding in bushes.
  • Fixed an issue where gestures could be performed when afflicted with any five elemental blights, blastblight, bleeding, but could not be performed when poisoned or afflicted with effluvium.
  • Fixed a bug where food skills would not be reflected on your Palico when joining a quest as a guest after eating at base.
  • Fixed a bug where the lighting on the two guns in the Devil May Cry Dual Guns gesture was not applied properly, making them look they were floating.
  • Fixed a bug where the Elderseal value for the weapon Taroth Buster “Decay” was set to “None”. It has now been changed to “Mid”.
  • Due to a data error, Taroth Strongarm “King” (Rarity 7) parameters were the same as King Gold Cutter (Rarity 6) in all areas except for number of augmentation slots. The Taroth Strongarm “King” has been updated with the following values.
    • Elemental Value: Fire 12 > Fire 18
    • Affinity: 20 > 30
  • Due to a data error, Felyne Lavasioth Helm α’s elemental resistance had the same values as Felyne Uragaan Helm α. The following values are now applied to Felyne Lavasioth Helm α.
    • Fire Resistance: 4 > 3
    • Water Resistance: -3 > -3
    • Thunder Resistance: 1 > -1
    • Ice Resistance: -2 > 1
    • Dragon Resistance: -2 > 3
  • The Felyne Azure Star series was mistakenly marked as rarity 2 from Ver. 2.00 and onward. It has now been reverted back to rarity 3.
  • Fixed a bug where a beard set on a female character during character creation would not appear when equipping the Kulve Taroth β armor set.
  • The following bugs related to armor appearance have been fixed.
    1. Some visual bugs affecting the female Azure Starlord Armor α were fixed.
    2. Some visual bugs affecting the female Rathalos Coil β and Rath Soul Coil β armor were fixed.
    3. Some visual bugs affecting the female Vaal Hazak Braces α armor were fixed.
    4. Hair pops out less now while wearing the female Xeno’jiiva Headgear α/β, Vaal Hazak Helm α, Jyura Helm α, and Blossom Headgear α armor.
    5. Hair pops out less now while wearing the male Butterfly Vertex (Low Rank, α and β) and Kirin Horn α armor.

Lunastra, the Empress of Flame has come to reclaim her throne in Monster Hunter: World

May 30, 2018 // Yuri Araujo

Lunastra, the Empress of Flame has come to shake things up and reclaim her throne amongst the Elder Dragons in Monster Hunter: World.

Thanks to the help from all the hunters of the Fifth Fleet, the ecosystems of the New World continue to thrive and flourish. Incidentally, this bloom of bioenergy also makes it a very welcoming spot for all manner of species. We’ve seen it happen with the arrival of Deviljho and the resurgence of Kulve Taroth, and now another Elder Dragon is on its way: Lunastra.

The Empress of Flame returns with new tricks and unique abilities to challenge even the most seasoned hunters. Not only is she more aggressive than her male companion Teostra, but her capacity to alter the environment around her is unmatched. Stay awake and alert to her burning blue fire at all times if you want to survive.

Teamwork is a powerful tool to conquer any foe in Monster Hunter, however hunters beware, Lunastra has learned this lesson as well. With the ability to fight alongside her mate Teostra and bond with him for devastating attacks, you’ll want to get a full hunting party stocked up on Lifepowders if you want to stand a chance against this power couple.

Another unique aspect of Lunastra’s physiology is that rare materials carved from her seem to be resonating strangely with materials from other monsters. The Smithy was able to master the technique for combining a Bazelgeuse Gem to unlock the “Guts” skill, adding a tactical defensive ability to Lunastra weapons. Materials from Nergigante and Xeno’jiiva have also shown the potential to resonate with Lunastra, so check with the Smithy when you’ve successfully completed your hunt against Lunastra.

Lunastra’s arrival also signals more changes to the Elder Dragon ecosystem in the New World… the Guild has reported sightings of even more powerful Tempered Elder Dragons, and are dubbing these creatures “Arch-Tempered Elder Dragons”. Gear up and stay tuned for more updates on the rise of these cataclysmic threats.

The latest free Title Update, including Lunastra, is available now . So assemble your squad, and good luck!

Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection is Now Available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and Steam!

May 30, 2018 // Andy Wong

Relive the last three decades of Street Fighter with Street Fighter 30 th Anniversary Collection, now available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and Steam!

Street Fighter 30 th Anniversary Collection contains 12 classic titles that impacted arcade culture, established the fighting game genre, and paved way for our very own Capcom Pro Tour. This is the first time many of these arcade titles will be playable on consoles and PC. While the collection stays true to the arcade experience, four of the titles will also contain additional features such as online play, Training Mode, and Versus Mode!

  • Street Fighter
  • Street Fighter II
  • Street Fighter II: Champion Edition
  • Street Fighter II: Hyper Fighting – Online and Training Mode
  • Super Street Fighter II
  • Super Street Fighter II Turbo – Online and Training Mode
  • Street Fighter Alpha
  • Street Fighter Alpha 2
  • Street Fighter Alpha 3 – Online and Training Mode
  • Street Fighter III
  • Street Fighter III: 2nd Impact
  • Street Fighter III: Third Strike – Online and Training Mode

 

OFFLINE MODES

Arcade Mode – In this classic mode heralding back to the arcades, take on a series of CPU opponents until you’re treated to each character’s unique ending. This time, no coins are needed and continues are infinite. In Street Fighter 30 th Anniversary Collection, you can now save your progress in Arcade Mode and continue later on!

Versus Mode – In order to play against another player in the arcades, they would have to interrupt your progress through Arcade Mode by inserting coins. Now, you can directly play against someone else in local Versus Mode, complete with the ability to select your stage!

Training Mode – Available in Street Fighter II: Hyper Fighting, Super Street Fighter II Turbo, Street Fighter Alpha 3, and Street Fighter III: Third Strike, a robust Training Mode has been implemented to help you practice combos and master your character before taking the battle online. All four titles will have the option to turn on damage display, input display, dummy controls, and more! You’ll even be able to use the record and play function, similarly to Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition, where you can record what the dummy will do, then play it back. Each of the four games also have their own unique training options that reflect their respective systems.

ONLINE MODES

Online Arcade – Unlike offline Arcade Mode, Online Arcade Mode is all about recreating the classic experience of having a player interrupt your progress to challenge you by inserting coins. While you fight the CPU opponents, the system will be looking for online matches for you. Once one is found, your progress will be interrupted and you’ll fight another player!

Ranked Match – Care to show the world you were the champion of your local arcade? Prove it by playing ranked matches to improve your spot on the leaderboards, which can also be viewed in the online category.

Casual Match – If you’re looking to play against another player without the pressure of leaderboards or if you simply want to practice a new character, casual matches are for you! The outcome of casual matches do not reflect your position on the leaderboards.

Lobbies – Up to four players can be in one lobby at a time. When creating one, you can choose which of the four games you’d like to be available to play. If you only want to partake in Street Fighter III: Third Strike games, make sure to uncheck the other three. If more than one game is checked, players will vote for the game they’d like to play the most. When in a lobby, you can also spectate to see all the action as it goes down!

Super Street Fighter II: The Tournament Battle (Nintendo Switch) – In this platform exclusive recreation, four Nintendo Switch systems and eight controllers take part in local wireless play where up to eight players partake in a tournament of their own, complete with brackets and a crowned champion. This mode is perfect for group gatherings – and bragging rights, of course. Check out how it works in our blog here.

MUSEUM

History – Journey through this interactive timeline to learn about key dates and uncover concept art related to each game in the series.

Gear up for Mega Man 11, available October 2nd!

May 29, 2018 // Kellen Haney

Mega Man 11 slides on to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC on October 2nd, 2018! Jump, shoot, speed, and power your way through beautiful hand-drawn environments and take down eight brand-new Robot Masters in Mega Man’s latest fight for everlasting peace. With Mega Man’s classic arsenal of tools and skills and the brand new Double Gear system at your fingertips, foil the devious Dr. Wily’s latest plot for world domination!

It’s no surprise that the mustache-twirlingly evil Dr. Wily is up to his old tricks, but this time the master of malevolence has a brand new tactic tucked away in his lab coat. Reflecting on his younger days when he studied alongside Dr. Light – the good-natured and ever-hopeful creator of Mega Man – Wily recalls a creation of his own: the Double Gear system, capable of pushing robots beyond their normal capabilities. Putting his idea into action, the unscrupulous doctor steals eight of Dr. Light’s robots to use for his own nefarious plans. At Mega Man’s request, Dr. Light installs the prototype Double Gear system in the heroic blue ‘bot, imbuing our hero with brand new skills in his quest to put a stop to Dr. Wily’s diabolical plan and continue the fight for everlasting peace.

At its core, the Double Gear System has two main functions that empower Mega Man (and players) with brand new abilities. Mega Man speeds up with the aptly-named Speed Gear, causing the world around him move much slower by comparison. If you need a moment to dodge incoming projectiles, make a desperate jump, or simply need a breather to figure out a tricky situation, the Speed Gear is just a button press away to give you a chance to escape and quickly adapt to any situation. It’s great for both newcomers who need a little extra time to figure out enemy and boss patterns, or veterans who can expertly maneuver their way around levels.

The Power Gear pushes Mega Man’s power output beyond maximum, powering up his regular buster shots and allowing him to charge his Mega Buster to an even higher level than before to unleash two charge shots at a time. Special weapons gained from defeated Robot Masters will also power up in various ways when Mega Man has the Power Gear active. Be careful how you use these new skills, though! You can turn each gear on and off at will with a quick button press, but pushing Mega Man to his limit will cause him to overheat, preventing him from using the Double Gear system until he’s cooled off a bit.

If things are looking desperate, Mega Man can also activate both gears at once when his health is critically low to slow time to a crawl and unleash his full potential in one massive, overcharged shot from his Mega Buster! Careful, though – you can’t turn this technique off once it’s active, and Mega Man will be severely weakened afterwards. Make it count!

Of course, no Mega Man game is complete without a set of Robot Masters to test your mettle against, and Mega Man 11 will introduce an additional eight bosses for our hero to send to the scrapyard. We initially revealed the design for one of these upcoming Robot Masters as part of the Mega Man 30 th Anniversary stream, but we haven’t revealed his name until now. Get ready for…

Block Man ! This vain, brick-building ‘bot has an ego the size of a pyramid, and a bit of a hero complex to go with it. Headstrong and thick as a brick, Block Man is able to form blocks out of thin air, and can use the Power Gear to change into a gargantuan form when he’s pushed to his limits. This rock-solid Robot Master is definitely no pushover, but you’ll have to navigate a series of perilous pyramids in order to reach him.

Next up is a brand-new reveal – Fuse Man ! Hopefully that wasn’t too shocking for you. This fast-thinking Robot Master resides deep within a power plant, filled with challenging platforming and tricky traps. Never one to refuse a fight, this speed demon will charge you with assault and battery if you’re not careful. Getting to his lair to begin with is a challenge on its own, with lasers that will require quick thinking to maneuver around and lots of electrified surfaces that will give you a jolt if you don’t watch where you step!

Block Man and Fuse Man are just two of the eight robots that have turned malicious due to the tinkering of Dr. Wily (how do you get a doctorate for evil, anyways?), and it’s up to Mega Man to bring them down and claim their powers as his own. Series veterans know that each Robot Master has a weakness to another Robot Master’s weapon, and a big part of the fun is figuring out who’s weak to what!

New to Mega Man 11 is how parts of Mega Man’s appearance change when he equips a Robot Master’s weapon, giving him a distinct look reminiscent of the Robot Master he’s acquired each weapon from. It’s also easier than ever to choose a power to use thanks to a new weapon wheel that can be accessed with a flick of the right thumb stick, letting you switch weapons on the fly. Helping Mega Man in his fight for everlasting peace, Roll and Auto can create useful upgrades and items to upgrade Mega Man using bolts scattered throughout stages and dropped by enemies, giving Mega Man even more versatility for combat than any previous mainline Mega Man title before.

Mega Man 11 will be playable on the show floor of E3 this year at the Capcom booth (South Hall, Booth #2223), so if you’re attending the show, activate your own Speed Gear to be one of the first to try out the Blue Bomber’s latest adventure and see the gorgeous, hand-drawn environments and vibrant characters of Mega Man 11 with your own eyes in this adventure crafted by a veteran development team at Capcom.
